The president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, will make her private plane available to ensure the return of Vitor Roque, Verdão's forward, Fabrício Bruno from Cruzeiro, and Paulo Henrique from Vasco, after the friendly match of the Brazilian National Team against Tunisia, scheduled for the 18th in Lille, France.
The measure aims to speed up the arrival of the athletes to their clubs, which return to the field right after the FIFA date. Leila confirmed that she will be on the same flight with the players returning to Brazil. The information comes from ge.
The operation was arranged following requests from presidents Pedro Lourenço (Cruzeiro) and Pedrinho (Vasco), promptly attended to by the alviverde leader.
“Pedrinho, owner of SAF from Cruzeiro, and Pedrinho, president of Vasco, contacted me to ask if I could bring other athletes along with Vitor Roque on my plane. I promptly replied ‘yes’, that Fabrício Bruno and Paulo Henrique could return with us to Brazil without any problem. It is this spirit of cooperation that should guide Brazilian football, not the individualism that some clubs and leaders insist on demonstrating,” said Leila Pereira.
The main goal is to have Vitor Roque available for Abel Ferreira for Palmeiras' match against Vitória on the 19th, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, for the Brazilian Championship. Verdão has 68 points, the same as Flamengo, and seeks to remain strong in the title race.
The other two passengers on the flight also have important commitments: Vasco faces Grêmio in Porto Alegre on the same day, but at 9:30 PM, while Cruzeiro visits Juventude on the 20th, at 4 PM.

Despite the special trip, Paulo Henrique will not be on the field for the match against Grêmio, as he is serving a suspension.
The Brazilian National Team, in turn, still has two commitments ahead during this FIFA Date. Brazil faces Senegal this Saturday at 1 PM, at Emirates Stadium in London, and concludes the period with the game against Tunisia on the 18th at Decathlon Stadium in Lille.
